Meet , the first of three companies selected for the 2026 MarineShift360 Impact Accelerator.
It’s one of the world’s leading composite materials and engineering companies, serving marine, wind energy and aerospace industries from operations spanning four continents.
Through the programme, Gurit will assess the lifecycle impact of key marine products, identify lower-impact material and design pathways, and embed LCA methodology into day-to-day engineering.
The long-term ambition is making environmental impact data a standard part of every client deliverable.
Nicolas Siohan, Principal Engineer at Gurit, said:
“At Gurit, we see composites as essential for moving toward a greener future, thanks to their ability to enable lighter, more energy-efficient, and longer-lasting designs and products.
“In collaboration with Marine Futures experts, we seek to identify the top impacting factors on marine structures, develop alternative designs to minimise them, and implement low-carbon methodologies in our daily development processes.”
Chosen from 20 applicants spanning 10 countries, the 2026 cohort represents the full lifecycle of marine sustainability, from the materials that build vessels, to the propulsion systems that power them, to the end-of-life solutions that ensure they don’t become tomorrow’s waste.
